A Canada Deal would protect manufacturing jobs.
That's wrong..
Of the £274 billion of exports to the EU less than half are services.
Our economy as a whole is 80% services , exactly the same as every other developed economy in the world
Services include the NHS, High St shops, education, the Fire service, the civil service etc, which is for internal consumption.
Financial services are just 15% of the economy.
You need to know your facts to make sense of the reality of the situation and your facts are completely wrong.
